Description
Convenient, Scalable Kinase Profiling
The Kinase Enzyme Systems include a recombinant kinase enzyme, a substrate appropriate for the enzyme, a reaction buffer and supplemental reagents as needed. The BRSK1 Kinase Enzyme System contains:
BRSK1 Kinase, 10μg (Mouse, full-length recombinant). MW: ~118kDa
CHKtide Substrate (1mg/ml), (KKKVSRSGLYRSPSMPENLNRPR); derived from human CDC25C protein isoform A (amino acid 205–225)
5X Reaction Buffer, 0.1M DTT
Recombinant full-length mouse BRSK1 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. BRSK1 is serine/threonine kinases 1 which required for presynaptic differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans that are needed for neuronal polarization. BRSK1 is highly expressed in all specific adult brain regions followed by fetal brain and adult spinal cord. It is also expressed in adult heart, pancreas, testis, ovary, lung, and kidney, and in fetal liver.
The BRSK1 Kinase Enzyme System can be purchased with or without the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay reagents. Used together, the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay + Kinase Enzyme Systems provide a convenient method for profiling the effect of lead compounds on kinase activity. Assay advantages include broad dynamic range, ease of use and high sensitivity. Kinase Enzyme Systems are manufactured by SignalChem. Bulk quantities available upon request.
Use with ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay
The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is a substrate in a reaction catalyzed by Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase that produces light. The luminescent signal positively correlates with ADP amount and kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects of chemical compounds on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay can be used to monitor the activity of virtually any ADP-generating enzyme (e.g., kinase or ATPase) using up to 1mM ATP.
